Manual to
Automatic Local
Setpoint
The Local Setpoint is usually the value previously stored as the Local Setpoint.
PV tracking is a configurable feature which modifies this. For this configuration,
when the controller is in manual mode, the local setpoint value tracks the process
variable value continuously.
Manual or Auto
Local to Automatic
Remote SP
The Remote Setpoint uses the stored ratio and bias to calculate the control
setpoint.
Auto bias is a configurable feature which modifies this. When it is selected the
transfer from automatic local to automatic remote or from manual remote to
automatic remote adjusts the bias based on the local setpoint such that
Bias = LSP – (RSP Input x R).
Automatic Remote
Setpoint to Manual
or Auto Local
Setpoint
If configured for local setpoint tracking, RSP, when the controller transfers out of
remote setpoint the last value of the remote setpoint is inserted into the local
setpoint.
If LSP tracking is not configured, the local setpoint will not be altered when the
transfer is made.
